The Boys School.

THE BOYS SCHOOL .

A VEEY interesting account of the Boys School at Wood Green is given in this month ' s number of the " Ludgate Illustrated Magazine , " which has included a series of articles

The Boys School.

under the title of " Young England at School" among its other attractions . Some fine photographic views of the School , both inside and outside , are given , together with portraits of Bro . J . M . McLeod , the Secretary ; Bro . H . Hebb , the Head Master ; a

group of the Masters ; and a group of the Managing Committee . The article is one of the best written sketches we have seen descriptive of the School and its work , and , taken together with the illustrations , forms a memento of the Institution that we feel

sure every Brother interested in it would like to possess . The article is written by Mr . W . 0 . Sargent , who specially refers to the altered surroundings of the property at Wood Green , speaks of the suggestion to remove the Institution into the country , and

boldly asserts that the School will be greatly benefited as soon as that proposal can be carried into effect . We should have liked to reproduce some of the comments of the writer , but it would be unfair to the magazine in which they appear , and which is within the reach of all .

nnHE following shows the results of the Cambridge Local JL Examinations held in December 1894 , in connection with the Boys in the School at Wood Green : Seniors ( Age , 16 to 19 ) .

One Second Class . ( Total number successful m First and Second Classes : —83 out of 484 candidates ) . This boy is only 15 f years of age . Juniors ( Up to 16 ) .

Three Second Class , Three Third Class , Twenty Passes Total : —27 Certificates ; 7 with Honours . One ex-pupil ( left Midsummer 1894 ) also passed .

Note : —Six Candidates were under 14 years of age . Eleven Candidates were under 15 years of age ( The oldest was under 15 |) .

The thirty Masonic Lodges in Cornwall had , at the close of last year , 1 , 171 members , while 130 initiations took place during the twelve months . The Grand Master of the Province ( the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe ) will be well supported by his Province when he presides at the Anniversary Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls , some 500 guineas being likely to be subscribed by its members .

Palindromes.

PALINDROMES .

A PALINDEOME , from the Greek palin , " back , " and amnios , " a course or race , " is a word or sentence whjch reads the same backwards as forwards , letter by letter , or sound by sound . It is possible to obtain many instances from the Latin , but there are very few worthy palindromic sentences in the

English Language . They are not easy to form , and probably this is the reason for their scarcity . The palindromic effort " draw pupils' lip upward , " is an evidence of the difficulty which students in this particular line of amusement find in constructing sentences of the intelligent kind .

Many of our English words , such as Ada , Hannah , & o ., are perfect palindromes , although at the same time they are very insignificant . The following , which was made by Taylor , the Water-poet , is obtained by a quaintness in the spelling of the last word , and by the use of the sign " & * " for the word " and . "

" Lewd did I live , & evil I did dwel . " A writer in " Notes and Queries " contributed the following very clever palindrome : — " Eoma ibi tibi sedes—Ibi tibi Amor ; Eoma etsi te terret et iste Amor ;

Ibi etsi vis te non essi—sedes ibi Eoma tenet et amor . " Thus translated : —

" At Eome you live , at Eome you love ; From Eome that love may you affright ; Although you'd leave , you never move , For love and Eome both fear your flight . "

A lawyer once chose for his motto : " Si nummi immunis , "—Give me my fee , and I warrant you free . In the following palindrome , the spirit of the First Napoleon is supposed to bo loquitor : — " Able was I ere I saw Elba . "

Thc subjoined linos ou our first parents are considered to be a most unique example of epigram , conundrum , and palindrome combined : — " 'Tis known that palindromic wit , Should backwards read as forwards writ . When Adam saw in Eden fair

A lovely nymph his joys to share , What introduction then began Before Eve took on trust her man ? ' Give me your name , ' the maiden cried , ' Madam , I'm Adam , ' he replied . " " Book of Earities , " by Edward Eoberts P . M .
